- Flores - 7:30 am: The tour begins at the meeting point, Yo Amo Petén, at the scheduled time. From there, the journey to Tikal National Park commences, where the guided tour will start.
In Tikal, participants will explore the main temples, squares, and archaeological areas, while the guide provides insights into the history and culture of the Mayan civilization.
- Tikal - The guide is fully certified and possesses extensive knowledge of the history, archaeology, and culture of Tikal National Park, a significant site in the Mayan world.
During the tour, the guide will share information about key structures such as the Great Jaguar Temple, Temple II, the Central Acropolis, and other notable areas of the site.
The guide will adjust the tour’s pace to suit the group, ensuring a comfortable, informative, and safe experience, with ample time for photos and questions.
The goal is to offer an enriching experience that allows participants to appreciate the grandeur of the ancient Mayan civilization in Tikal.
- Great Plaza - Prepare to step back in time and enter the heart of the Mayan world. At this main stop of the tour, participants will not only witness history but also experience it, climb, and breathe it. Tikal’s Grand Square unfolds before them, surrounded by the towering rainforest, ready to unveil its best-kept secrets.
The Perfect Photoshoot: Capture the triumphant arrival in the square. Participants will have the ideal angle and time in front of the majestic Temple I (The Great Jaguar) to take home that iconic photo to cherish forever.
Conquer the Heights in Temple II: Participants will climb to the top of the Temple of Masks. From its upper platform, they will enjoy a privileged and spectacular panoramic view of the entire square, the same perspective as the ancient kings.
Northern Acropolis: Participants will ascend this monumental royal burial complex. Here, they will search for the two colossal masks carved in stone.
- Temple IV - The Ascent to the Jungle Roof: Participants will climb a staircase provided for visitors until reaching the crest of the temple. Emerging from the treetops, they will feel as if floating on an infinite green ocean.
A Movie View (Star Wars Connection): Participants will stop at the exact location that made movie history. This peak served as the filming location for the iconic scene from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977), depicting the moon of Yavin 4, the hidden base of the Rebel Alliance. They can recreate the famous shot where the rebel lookout watches as the ships take off over the jungle.
The Total Panoramic of Tikal: From this privileged height, participants can see the ridges of Temples I, II, III, and the Grand Acropolis majestically protruding among the dense vegetation.
It is the only perspective that allows one to grasp the true and colossal size of this ancient megacity.
- Lost World - Leaving the main paths behind, participants will enter Mundo Perdido, the oldest and most mysterious archaeological complex in the entire city. This place was the scientific and spiritual laboratory of Tikal, where the Mayan sages unlocked the secrets of time and the cosmos long before the Great Square was built.
The Great Astronomical Pyramid: Participants will stand in front of a colossal 32-meter-high structure that served as the city’s first large observatory. From here, Mayan astronomers calculated equinoxes, solstices, and the movements of the sun to organize their agricultural and sacred cycles.
Unique Architectural Style: Unlike the rest of Tikal, here participants will notice a different architecture, with clear influences from the great metropolis of Teotihuacán (in central Mexico), demonstrating that Tikal was the center of a commercial and political network of continental scope.
- Restaurante Gonzalez - Banquet to Recharge: Participants will head to a local restaurant to enjoy a well-deserved lunch with delicious options of Guatemalan and international cuisine. It is the perfect time to share photos, discuss the experience, and relax under the shade of the jungle.
Stress-free Return Journey: With renewed energy and a camera full of unforgettable memories, participants will board private air-conditioned transportation. Forget the traffic and logistics; just relax, take a nap, or enjoy the scenery as they are comfortably taken back to their hotel doorstep on the picturesque island of Flores.
- Flores - Understanding that every traveler has different plans, the tour offers a fully flexible closure that suits individual travel needs, ensuring participants make the most of every minute of their day.
Option A: If staying on the colorful Isle of Flowers, participants will be dropped off at their hotel door to rest and enjoy the afternoon by the lake.
Option B: Connecting to a Night Flight (With Bonus Track!): Have a return flight to Guatemala City at 8:00 PM? Perfect! Participants will be dropped off at the Isle of Flowers around 4:00 PM, allowing them free time to explore. They can stroll along its picturesque cobblestone streets, take photos with colorful facades, or enjoy a lakefront café. At 6:00 PM sharp, transportation will pick them up to take them directly to Mayan World International Airport, ensuring they arrive two hours in advance for check-in without any stress.
